TravelPulse › Flight Rights › TAP Air Portugal

TAP Air Portugal delayed or cancelled you? Here's what you're owed

The answer depends on the route, not the airline's goodwill. TAP Air Portugal flights are covered by different passenger-rights laws by departure/arrival country — the table below maps every case. A 3+ hour arrival delay for a reason within the airline's control is the usual trigger for cash.

Which rule covers your TAP Air Portugal flight

Your flightRule that applies
All departures from EU/EEA airports AND arrivals into the EU/EEAEU261 — up to €600
UK departures (any carrier) and UK arrivals (EU carriers)UK261 — up to £520
Flights to/from CanadaCanada APPR — up to C$1,000 (applies to any carrier on Canadian routes)
Flights to/from IsraelIsrael ASL — ₪1,530–₪3,670 (applies to any carrier on Israel routes)
Delayed/damaged/lost baggage on international flightsMontreal Convention — up to 1,519 SDR; 7/21-day complaint deadlines

Because TAP Air Portugal is a EU/EEA-licensed carrier, both directions of EU routes are covered — not just departures. Technical faults, crew shortages and TAP Air Portugal's own staff strikes are all compensable causes (van der Lans (C-257/14, 2015); Krüsemann (C-195/17, 2018)).
